Donald Trump nennt Russland einen „Papiertiger“ – doch die eigenen Geheimdienste zeichnen ein anderes Bild. Professor Dmitry Brovkin von der Harvard University hat die Zahlen überprüft und zeigt: Moskau ist in Drohnen, Raketen und Artillerie längst vor NATO und USA. Trotzdem klatschen europäische Spitzenpolitiker wie Ursula von der Leyen oder Kaja Kallas Trumps Worten Beifall. Wer so handelt, ignoriert die Realität und riskiert, Millionen Menschen in einen Krieg zu treiben, der nicht mehr begrenzbar wäre.Ein Standpunkt von Sabiene Jahn.Es war ein kurzer Satz, der eine heftige Debatte auslöste. Präsident Donald Trump erklärte vor wenigen Tagen, Russland sei im Grunde nichts anderes als ein „Papiertiger“. Gemeint war damit, dass die russischen Streitkräfte aufgebläht und ineffektiv seien, ein Apparat ohne reale Schlagkraft, mehr Schein als Sein. Trump verband diese Einschätzung mit der Ermutigung an den ukrainischen Präsidenten, doch alle von Russland kontrollierten Gebiete zurückzuerobern. Kaum eine Äußerung der letzten Wochen wirkte derart wie ein Streichholz an einem Benzinfass. Denn die Aussage steht in einem direkten Widerspruch zu den Einschätzungen der amerikanischen Geheimdienste, wie sie im Annual Threat Assessment 2025 (ATA) niedergelegt wurden. Dort wird Russland keineswegs als schwaches Gebilde beschrieben, sondern als „resilient and formidable in a prolonged conflict“ – übersetzt -, widerstandsfähig und beeindruckend stark in einem langanhaltenden Krieg (1). Wer nun lügt oder wen die Politik zum Narren hält, ist die entscheidende Frage.Die Vermutung liegt nahe, dass Trump die offiziellen Unterlagen entweder nicht gelesen oder bewusst ignoriert hat. Sein Verhältnis zu den amerikanischen Geheimdiensten war schon während seiner ersten Amtszeit von Misstrauen geprägt. Er sprach mehrfach davon, die CIA sei von einer „fünften Kolonne“ durchsetzt, und zog es vor, sich über enge Berater wie General Kellogg oder über direkte Kontakte zu internationalen Politikern zu informieren. Politische Rhetorik und Wahlkampflogik mögen eine Rolle spielen, ebenso die Absicht, das Kriegsmüdigkeitsempfinden vieler US-Bürger aufzugreifen. Doch unabhängig von Trumps Motiven bleibt eine nüchterne Feststellung: Die Faktenlage, wie sie von den eigenen Diensten zusammengetragen wurde, widerspricht der These vom „Papiertiger“ in jeder Hinsicht.Der amerikanische Russlandhistoriker Dmitry Brovkin, emeritierter Professor der Harvard University, hat die wichtigsten Passagen des Reports analysiert und mit russischen sowie westlichen Quellen abgeglichen. Sein Fazit ist eindeutig: In nahezu allen relevanten Kategorien militärischer Stärke zeigt sich Russland als ernstzunehmender, zum Teil sogar überlegener Gegner. Brovkin zitiert aus dem ATA 2025, dass Russland die Oberhand in der Ukraine gewonnen habe und Kiews Position auf dem Schlachtfeld erodiere, ungeachtet massiver westlicher Unterstützung (2). Diese Lageeinschätzung allein reicht schon aus, um Trumps Wortwahl zu entlarven. Doch Brovkin geht weiter, indem er die quantitativen und qualitativen Daten durchmustert. Zunächst die Personalstärke. Während der US-Report von 1,5 Millionen aktiven Soldaten spricht, geben russische Stellen 2,2 Millionen an, davon rund 700.000 in der Ukraine. Selbst wenn man die niedrigere US-Zahl zugrunde legt, ist dies ein Heer, das in Europa seinesgleichen sucht. Zum Vergleich: Die Bundeswehr liegt derzeit bei rund 180.000, die gesamte NATO-Europa zusammen unter zwei Millionen (3). In der Dimension der Masse hat Russland also einen Vorsprung, der auch durch technologische Defizite westlicher Partner nicht schnell aufgeholt werden kann....https://apolut.net/der-angebliche-papiertiger-ist-keiner-von-sabiene-jahn/ Hosted on Acast.

The Department of International Relations has rejected a U.S. State Department Human Rights Country report on South Africa as inaccurate and deeply flawed. The State Department earlier released its annual country report on Human Rights Practices including on South Africa where it alleged that the human rights situation in South Africa significantly worsened during the year, citing reports of arbitrary and unlawful killings, arbitrary arrest or detention and the repression of racial minorities.
